Sheriff's office thinks it makes $2M fentanyl bust only for it to be sugar

North Carolina sheriff's office thought it made a huge drug bust, seizing 13 pounds of fentanyl worth $2 million on the street. The powder was found in a home along with other drugs and paraphernalia. A field test indicated it was the powerful opioid, justifying a host of charges against three suspects.
Most of those charges soon evaporated when a state lab concluded that whatever the powder was, it wasn't fentanyl.
The sheriff's office then sent the powder to a private lab, and the results arrived this week. New Hanover Sheriff's Lt. Jerry Brewer tells WECT-TV that the powder seized in July includes no illicit ingredients, and is nothing more than "a combination of simple and complex carbohydrates." In other words, sugar, worth about $8 at the grocery store.

Isn't fentanyl dangerous? You would think they'd know easily what it is.

They are hitting the house for a reason and finding other drugs, they clearly will have preconception. Especially when they find pound and pounds of powder, unmarked, that then tests positive as an opiod

13 pounds of sugar is what was put into the evidence room.
The 13 pounds of fentanyl never made it to the police station.

Sounds like the time Livingston parish put the trustees in charge of the evidence room.

It is, and many departments are going to a “no field test” policy regarding powdery substances. Due to the danger to the officers involved. The departments are simply charging them with what it appears to be (generally cocaine) then sending it off to a lab and having the DA adjust charges as needed.

I don't doubt that they are doing this at all...trouble is, they are basically ruining peoples life on the hunch that they are actually seeing drugs. Hope they get the shite sued out of them anytime they are wrong.

I’m sure something shady was going on. Who has 13 lbs of sugar in their house packaged up like coke? And it’s a house where they had a warrant for.

Meanwhile innocent people are arrested booked and charged for owning something that looks like something that is illegal.
Our criminal justice system is turning into garbage so quickly.

Who cares how they choose to store sugar. Warrants are the same as a guilty plea now?
